About this activity
A 2-hour walking tour through Venice's most celebrated dessert destinations, sampling traditional pastries, artisanal chocolate, and gelato while discovering the stories behind family-owned food makers. Combines culinary indulgence with authentic local culture and a scenic gondola crossing of the Grand Canal.
Discover Venice through its most delightful treats on this two-hour walking tour, perfect for families and anyone with a sweet tooth.
We’ll begin at a historic pastry shop to sample classic Venetian specialties, like pastries filled with zabaione cream — a favorite of generations of locals. Then we’ll visit a women-owned chocolate workshop where handmade confections are crafted with passion and creativity.
After indulging in chocolate, we’ll hop on a traditional gondola traghetto for a short ride across the Grand Canal — a fun and scenic way to experience the city from the water.
Our journey ends at a beloved family-run gelateria, where you’ll taste creamy, all-natural gelato made with the finest ingredients — including pistachios from Bronte.
As we walk, your guide will share stories and hidden corners of Venice, blending history, daily life, and culinary traditions into one sweet experience. A delicious way to connect with authentic, family-run businesses in the heart of the city.

Insider tips
- ★Go early in the day when pastry shops are freshest and less crowded; many sell out by afternoon
- ★Wear comfortable walking shoes — Venice's streets are narrow and uneven, and you'll be on foot for most of the tour
- ★The gondola traghetto is a brief, standing-room crossing (not a long scenic ride); it's a practical and authentic way locals move across the canal
